Communication Strategy of Social Studies Teachers in Integrating Climate Change Issues in Semarang
This study examines how Social Studies teachers in Semarang, Indonesia, frame and communicate climate change issues through the lenses of environmental communication and ecopedagogy. Drawing on a structured online survey of 116 I teachers from Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial Semarang, the research identifies four perceptual constructs: awareness, knowledge, perception, institutional responsibility, and self-efficacy. It classifies the topics teachers choose into pragmatic mitigation measures or constitutive identity‐building issues and their strategies, e.g., class discussions, project-based learning, visual media, and policy advocacy. Descriptive analyses show that while teachers recognize climate change and its future risks (means ≥ 4.18/5), they tend to favor conventional, one-way informational methods alongside participatory projects. By mapping these practices onto Kahn's three-dimensional ecopedagogy, cosmological, technological, and organizational, the study reveals both strengths in building planetary consciousness and gaps, including overreliance on deficit-model framing and limited cultural contextualization. The findings underscore the need for IPS curricula to integrate deliberative, community-centered pedagogies and professional development that apply critical, context-sensitive ecopedagogical practice.

Development of Video-Based Contextual Teaching Materials on Social Harmony Material at SMAN 3 Semarang
This study aims to identify the use of social harmony teaching materials at SMAN 3 Semarang and measure student responses to developing video-based teaching materials as a solution to the limitations of existing teaching materials. This study uses the R&D (Research and Development) method.

To overcome these problems, video-based teaching materials were developed that present visual illustrations, animations, and examples of local phenomena that are close to students' lives. In addition, the development of videos shows a positive response from most students. The development of video-based teaching materials has been proven to be able to create a more meaningful, interesting learning experience and encourage students to internalize the values ​​of social harmony in their lives.
